The Truth Behind A Dangerous Method
Erica Lorentz, MEd, LPC, IAAP
(presented by The New England Society of Jungian Analysts)
What is the real story of the relationships between Sabina Spielrein, Carl Jung, and Sigmund Freud? The recent Hollywood film A Dangerous Method (2011) over dramatizes and sensationalizes the very complex and intense relationships between the three. As compared to it, Elisabeth Marton’s award winning documentary My Name Was Sabina Spielrein (2002) carefully chronicles the truth of the encounters between Spielrein, Jung, and Freud through a close examination of the letters they exchanged with one another. How did their relationships really unfold? How did they influence each other? What did they learn from one another that changed their understanding of their clinical work, and further shaped modern psychoanalysis? In her talk, Erica Lorentz will compare the two films using source material she has researched and lead a discussion with the audience.
